Pepper Sweet Rajen Seeds

Pepper Sweet Rajen Seeds – Irish Plants Direct

 

A productive sweet pepper variety known for its long, tapered fruits, glossy skin, and mild, aromatic flavour.

 

Classified botanically as Capsicum annuum, this reliable type produces slender peppers that ripen from vibrant green to deep red, offering excellent sweetness and versatility in the kitchen.

 

Rajen is valued for its early cropping, strong vigour, and consistent yields throughout the summer. The fruits are smooth, thin skinned, and ideal for frying, grilling, roasting, and adding to salads or stir fries.

 

Their mild flavour suits a wide range of dishes, while the plants themselves are compact, sturdy, and well suited to greenhouses, polytunnels, and warm outdoor sites.

 

This variety thrives in sunny, sheltered positions with fertile, well drained soil. Regular feeding and steady watering support continuous fruit development. Harvesting fruits at both green and red stages encourages ongoing production and extends the harvest window.

 

Pepper Sweet Rajen is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a dependable, mild sweet pepper with long, attractive fruits and strong summer performance.
